EMILY Perry has been having big dreams since she was a child.

Now, the striking 17-year-old is closer to living the dream of singing and acting in Australia and overseas, following her contract to release her first pop single in October.

The Annangrove musician cannot wait for her debut singles to hit the radio waves in Australia and Los Angeles, following collaboration with platinum-award US producer Stevie Bensusen.

“I’ve never for a second doubted what I wanted to do with my life,” Emily said.

“I’ve always been passionate about music, dancing and acting, ever since I was little, and it’s what drives me everyday.

“I believe in doing what makes you happy.

“You have your challenges along the way, and trust me there’s been a few, but at the end of the day you have to do whatever’s going to make you feel whole as a person and for me … that’s being creative.”

Emily, whose is supported all the way by her proud family, said she finished recording a collaboration with “an incredible well-known DJ which was an amazing experience”.

“It’s called Sugar Coated so look out for that in October,” Emily said.

“Music is such a beautiful gift to the world and I can’t wait to share mine

“Right now, I’m really focused on completing my full time tertiary studies in performing arts at the end of this year and working on my performance quality.”

“I’m working with some fantastic producers here and in the US and I’m about to start releasing my own original music,” Emily said.

“I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge, training and work both here and overseas next year.”
